A Baytown teenager shot two suspected burglars, killing one of them, after they broke into his grandmother's home, authorities said.

The 18-year-old told Baytown police he was awakened early Wednesday by noise coming from a back room of the home in the 900 block of Brentwood Drive.

The teenager grabbed a shotgun from under the couch where he was sleeping then moved forward to investigate.

He spotted light from an apparent flashlight coming from behind the curtain covering a sliding glass door, Baytown police said.

As the teenager walked toward the kitchen, the back door was suddenly kicked-in. He was immediately confronted by two burglars.

Fearing for his safety, the teen fired several shots at the two men. One of the men, later identified by Baytown police as Charles Allen Dixon III, 40, fell to the floor and died at the scene, authorities said.
